Proactively trigger case workflows and notify customers of any issues to resolve issues
faster and lower inbound call volume.
Proactive Customer Service Operations enables you to track the digital services sold to and in
use by your customers. This is referred to as install base.
If you identify any service disruptions to a customer's install base, you can proactively
create a case to notify them.
These cases are resolved and closed in the same way as customer-reported cases. When multiple
customers are affected, you can use the major issue management process.
You can also associate outage information to a case to keep your customers informed about the
impact of the outage and the status of the resolution. It also gives customers visibility into
planned service disruptions, enhancing transparency and reducing the number of customer-reported
cases.
Your customers can use the Customer Service Portal to view proactive cases that you opened on
their behalf, any outages associated with their install base, and interact with you using the
proactive case.
The Proactive Customer Service Operations plugin (com.snc.proactive_cs_itom) provides an
integration between Customer Service Management and the Event Management console in IT Operations
Management. For more information, see Integration with Event Management.
